I cannot understand the following situation:
1) primary node_a goes down
2) secondary node_b takes over and now is primary
3) former primary node_a harddisk crashes during SyncAll after reboot
4) new primary node_b goes down due to power fail
5) power is back, node_b boots
6) node_a is not ok, harddisk crashed
7) node_b asks, if it should become primary
8) manually answered: yes
9) it does nothing still node_a boots also
I tested this twice with the same result, so I run in the following problem:
node_b was primary before power fail and so has consistent data, but I cannot use these data
until node_a has a new harddisk.
Imo this is not necessary, node_b should boot, even if node_a is not on, since it may take a day
to buy and install a new harddisk for node_a. node_b was primary and should and can become
primary after reboot, but it does not.
In the described case, I have not high availability but no availability. Or is there some reason for
this behavior which I cannot see? Any hint appreciated!
